The Atlanta Black Theatre Festival (ABTF) is a gathering of the world's preeminent theatre producers, writers, artists, and art lovers to celebrate creative works for and about the Black experience.

Our mission is to provide opportunities for theatre and performing artists to develop, present, and preserve, in an authentic voice, multi-disciplinary art for and about the pan-African experience.

Our vision is to develop programs that provide safe and strong community connections as we discover, present, and preserve the true history and contributions of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) people to the arts and cultural landscape of our global civilization.
